Equipment: An unwhipped lashing rope for each Scout, whipping cord to whip
the ropes.

Method: Patrols line up in relay formation. Ropes are placed at a turning
line in front of the patrols. A leader is assigned to each patrol. On the
signal to go, the first Scout in each line runs to the line, picks up a
rope, and whips both ends. The Scout then runs back to touch off the second
Scout, and so on until all have run.

Scoring: 5 points for the first patrol finished, 4 points for the second,
3 for the third, etc. Leaders inspect the whippings. Take a point off for
each whipping that slips off the rope when pulled.

Variation: Splice the Rope-Same as above, but each Scout puts one end splice
on the rope. Score as above for time, then score 1 to 5 additional points
for neatness.
